Dishonouring our veterans

Peterborough This Week

To the editor:

I would like to express my utter contempt for the four ATV riders that illegally drove south on Hillview Drive in Bethany at the 11th hour of the 11th day and stopped, idling their machines and yelling at each other to communicate in front of our home.

They were looking for a passage to enter and illegally travel on fire route 13 (Wilson Line). This fire route is governed by bylaw 25, prohibiting ATVs, dirt bikes and snowmobiles. Our family was in the process of observing two minutes of silence honouring the vets including one brother of the Second World War and another brother of the Korean War. This just confirms the pathetic disregard for the law, the veterans and their families that honour them.
